AREFLH has a partner on the WASTE4SOIL project “Turning food waste into sustainable soil improvers for better soil health and improved food system”. Waste4Soil aims at developing applicable recycling technical pathways to transform Food Processing Residues (FPR) into improvers, through a circular, system, and multi-actor approach. All food chain actors are involved at the regional level, thereby closing specific loops (nutrients, organic matter, water).
The research centre CERTH, Coordinator of the project, and ARTEMIS Laboratory have participated at the 11th International Conference on Sustainable Solid Waste Management" in Rhodes, Greece, from 19 to 22 June 2024.
During the conference, a poster was presented entitled “Transforming Food Waste into Sustainable Soil Improvers for Enhanced Soil Health and Food Systems Resilience- A Living Lab Approach".
The Conference addressed the significant issue of sustainable solid waste management through the promotion of safe practices & effective technologies. It aimed to stimulate the interest of scientists and citizens and inform them about the latest developments in the field of municipal solid waste management such as : separation at source, Biological Treatment, the treatment at central facilities, waste prevention, biowaste utilization, recycling promotion, Waste-to-energy technologies & energy recovery, smart technologies for waste management, sludge management, agricultural and livestock waste, management of specific waste streams (construction & demolition waste, waste from electrical and electronic equipment, etc.), biotechnology, Best Available techniques, symbiosis networks, energy consumption and saving, carbon footprint and water footprint, zero-waste initiatives, plastics and bioplastics, marine litter constitute main conference subjects.
A special attention was drawn to the valorization prospects & the products from solid waste, such as: biofuels, compost, materials, etc.
